Kensington Palace to host royal fashion exhibition

Clothing from the Queen and Princess Diana to go on display

Clothes belonging to the Queen, Princess Margaret and Princess Diana are to go on display at Kensington Palace this summer

The royal wardrobes will be part of a new exhibition hoping to explore the importance of dress to the monarchy in the 20th century, titled Fashion Rules: Dress from the collections of HM The Queen, Princess Margaret, and Diana, Princess of Wales.

Its hard to imagine three women who personify grace, elegance, and style more perfectly, commented Chris Good of Estee Lauder, who is sponsoring the exhibition. Those qualities have always been the driving force at Estée Lauder Companies, and we are incredibly proud to support this exhibition and Historic Royal Palaces.

Fashion has always been integral to the royal family, from Princess Margarets high fashion friendships with Parisian couturiers including Yves Saint Laurent, to Princess Dianas fashion icon status in the 1980s and 1990s.

The Duchess of Cambridge is the latest royal who can do no wrong sartorially, with her high street pieces selling out instantly, and the fashion press eagerly dissecting everything she wears.
